The product, in the report: General Electric relocatable power tap E192912, white with what looks like a surge protector button. Surge protective device. No B 56790792
General Electric relocatable power tap E192912, caught on fire and burned my wooden bench. My basement was full of smoke and that electrical, plastic smell. I use it to plug in my sump pump, and a drop light. I have it up on a bench in case water comes into the basement.

Hurt, no treatment Made Dec 1, 2018, sent to the company Dec 19, 2018, published by CPSC Feb 6, 2019
The product, in the report: GE branded surge protector, what appears to be model E192912. This item was made in China, and appears to bear a date code of March 2016. 4 outlet, 2 usb outlets, approximately 6’ cord
Approximately 2 years ago, I purchased a GE branded surge protector, what appears to be model E192912. This item was made in China, and appears to bear a date code of March 2016. On the evening of 29 November, 2018, this surge protector seems to have catastrophically failed, having heated up to a high temperature, melted the case, caused several electronic devices to heat up dramatically and possibly fail. When my daughter picked up the surge protector, it either burnt her finger, or delivered a shock to her finger.
